1. A TRIP TO LONDON
So, you want to travel to London,
do you? And you think it is easy,
do you? Well, prove it!
2. Task 1:
• You have to organise a trip to London for the whole class.
• -You have to decide on a date for your trip. Learn about the
weather in London and choose the most convenient time of
the year. Perhaps you want to know when there are famous
celebrations in London. Remember, you have to convince
the class that your choices are the best!
• -You also have to decide how long the trip is going to be.
Less than 3 days is too short, more than 7 is too expensive!
• -There are 5 airports in London ( Gatwick, Luton, Heathrow,
London City and Stansted). You have to decide which
airport is the cheapest or the most convenient. Don't forget
the option that your team has chosen!
4. Task 2:
You have to coordinate with the person doing task
1,
or two of you can do tasks 1 and 2.
You have to find out about flight timetables, and
ticket prices to and from the Spanish airport to
the airport that your teammate has chosen. You
also have to decide about transportation from
your town to the Spanish airport, and viceversa.
Don't forget the option that you have chosen, and
keep in mind the cost of each journey by bus,
train and plane until you are in London.
6. Task 3:
• · You have to coordinate with the person or people doing task
2,
or two of you can do tasks 2 and 3,
or three of you can do tasks 1, 2 and 3.
• · Decide which kind of accommodation you want (hotel, bed
and breakfast, or youth hostel). Find out if you can book in
advance enough rooms for everybody, how much they cost
and what they include.
• · Find out when your plane arrives in London, and how to
get to the place where you want to stay. Find out about public
transport (bus, train, underground) to get to your hotel or
hostel.
• · Think also about the return flight, what time you need to
get to the airport, and how you can get there.
8. Task 4:
• You have to coordinate with the person or people doing
task 3 to know how much time you are spending in
London.
• First you have to decide where you want to go, what you
want to see and do, and how long you want to have for
free-time or optional activities.
• Then you have to plan every day: activities, timetable,
transportation, meals, and total cost.
• Don't forget to check entrance fees, opening dates and
times, and situation of all the monuments, museums,
etc. that you want to visit. Check whether there are
discounts for big groups or for students.
10. Task 5:
• Find out about the places where you can go to have
lunch, dinner or some drinks.
• Think about how much money you want to spend on
food and calculate the total cost.
• You need to look for the best places where you can find
typical British food at a good price. While it is not a
good idea to eat at McDonalds or KFC every time, neither
you can go to expensive restaurants daily. Take all these
factors into consideration.
12. Task 6:
• Ok, we are in the final stage of planning our trip to
London. Your classmates have looked for information
about the airplane, the accommodation, sightseeing,
food, etc. You need to plan something to have fun all
together.
• Plan to go to a musical. You need to decide which one
you want to see and find cheap tickets.
• Look for information about the musical you choose and
explain it to the class.
